Re: How Much Boost????
 
The 1255 lb of torque pull was with a 5" pulley on the blower, the 1188 pull, I used a 5.5".both used the 7.65 crank pulley. I wanted to do one pull with race gas and more timing, run it up to 7000 rpm but I ran out of time.

Interesting, seems that at about 5000rpm the belt starts slipping. Which has more area under the curve? Because of the slippage problem, I would use a bigger pully and less boost and extend your rpm range. I would bet that you would be able to go faster with a bigger pully and no slippage.

I agree, when I put the bigger pulley on I gained 171 hp. We didn't run it up high enough to see if the belt slipped again.

Great thread

Damn, this is an old thread!!!
In 2015 I built a completely new set of engines for the boat. They have over 275hr on them and I freshened the top ends last year.
8.3:1 compression
AFR 357CNC
Custom Hyd. Roller Cam w/ Johnson Racing lifters
8:71, 3% overdriven
6psi boost.
964HP and 924t lbs.

Cam: Lunati Hyd. Blower Cam (.571 - .580) the rest I'm not sure
8-71 Hampton Blower underdriven 5%
766 hp and 753 lbs. torque at 4500.

I went with a conservative setup for longevity but I could always pump up the boost if I want more juice. :eek:

Nope, they're 572 now. I started over with new builds back in 2015.

I dont remember half the stuff in this thread :)
Ironically i just stumbled across this video last week Crazy
I had hair and no brains back then!
sry i used my phone on the plasma on vhs c
i think its the combo above that was in my hustler with arnesons.

KNOT-RIGHT 03-10-2022 07:59 AM

Anybody know the story. It did end rather abruptly.

Went back and listened again. Even with my deaf azz ears it sure sounds like something let lose. Sounded like top end though.

525SC was a 7.5 compression 5.5psi engine running very rich I thought ??

My 600SC ran like a champ for 300hrs, I never saw over 5psi so maybe Mercury knows something .

We had the early on 1992 525 sc’s. Just a little over 5 pds boost with no innercoolers. They were pig rich but ran the dog chit out of them without any failures. I should’ve spent some time getting jetting right but didn’t then.

glad you were joking!
